Actually, this will only make a difference when you're maxing out
your CPU usage, at least for AMD CPUs. With their "Cool 'n' Quiet"
technology, the fan speed of the CPU fan will be varied based on the
CPU's cooling requirements (I believe that one we're using drops down to
about 1200 RPM at idle), so all you're really doing there is putting a
lower top limit on your CPU speed).
